Description of  Redundancy, Community and Heritage in the Modern Church of England, 1945 2000: Closing the Church Door

3031175964 pdf This book is a reappraisal of Anglican Church redundancy from a cultural perspective. It challenges long-held perceptions about the rationale for church redundancy, particularly secularisation. It argues that redundancy brought to the surface far-reaching social and cultural tensions that remain unresolved to this day, and which the pandemic closure of buildings has reignited.
